Gradually, a cold sweat began to form on Jin Chuchu’s forehead.
She was scared.
Previously, she had never connected Lin Beichen with that Mr. Lin, as the gap between them was too vast, one was a busy ant while the other was a brilliant sun.
That Mr. Lin, was an Asura War God who emerged from a path of blood.
"Impossible, right? How could you be that person?"
Jin Chuchu asked in shock, constantly eyeing Lin Beichen up and down, but she couldn’t associate him with the legendary person.
Lin Beichen was just an unknown student, at most, he just had some learning talent, but that Mr. Lin was different.
The only ones who could stand on equal footing with him were the leaders of various southern factions.
Even someone like Zhang Changhuai would have to call himself a junior in front of Lin Beichen.
"Since you already know who I am, you should understand that just saying sorry is absolutely not enough to offend me."
Lin Beichen said leisurely, casually picking up a broom.
Jin Chuchu pitifully looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears.
She had originally intended to use that broom on Lin Beichen.
After the special training team taught Lin Beichen a lesson, she wanted to make him lie on the ground and spank him with the broom.
But now, it seemed that the broom would fall on her instead.
"Mr. Lin, I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please spare my life, I beg you."
Jin Chuchu, like a lamb, knelt at Lin Beichen’s feet, rubbing her face against his pants to try to please him.
To lessen her punishment, she was willing to throw away her dignity.
What use is dignity? Avoiding a beating is the most crucial thing!
Her delicate skin couldn’t withstand even a few hits.
"If you weren’t Luo Meixiang’s friend, you would already be dead."
Lin Beichen said coldly.
As his voice fell, a golden light appeared out of thin air. Surrounded by fire, it turned into a White Bone Lotus.
The White Bone Lotus, half holy, half deep, slowly fell in front of Jin Chuchu.
"What is this thing?"
Jin Chuchu was extremely terrified, her body constantly trembling.
Under her horrified gaze, the White Bone Lotus entered her forehead.
"This is the Nether Night Fire. It will not affect you in general, but if you dare to abuse your power or have evil thoughts, it will respond. It will grow from your own evil thoughts, turning into boundless flames that will devour your body and soul."
Lin Beichen finished speaking, turned, and left without looking at Jin Chuchu again.
He had given Jin Chuchu many chances, and if it were someone else, they would have died countless times by now. But he only gave Jin Chuchu a warning, which was already generous.
From that day on, Jin Chuchu never dared to harass Lin Beichen again, especially in matters involving Lin Beichen and Luo Meixiang. Even if they met by chance, she would instantly evade as if avoiding a predator.
At first, Luo Meixiang did not notice, but after it happened several times, she felt something was wrong.
Jin Chuchu was always fearless, whether at home or in her circle, she was pampered like a princess. When had she ever been afraid of anyone? Why was she now so afraid of Lin Beichen?
But Lin Beichen didn’t say anything, so Luo Meixiang let it go.
Just as the relationship between Lin Beichen and Luo Meixiang heated up, the conflict between the Bai Family and Songqiao Group intensified.
The two sides fought fiercely over the land at Mingzhu Port, and as the conflict dragged on, more families were forced to get involved.
Gradually, the issue wasn’t just about the business world but started to involve the higher echelons.
Some, knowing they were not strong enough, decided to go all out, taking falsified documents to official agencies to report that Bai Yunfei was maliciously occupying the market and even organizing underground forces, attempting to eliminate opponents through assassination.
Bai Yunfei, on his side, was not to be outdone. Upon discovering the malicious rumors, he immediately used his methods, utilizing the internet and vast financial resources, to attack Songqiao Group’s stocks.
For a time, the entire Huadu was in chaos, with external forces quietly observing, waiting to see the outcome of this confrontation.
In a battle between two tigers, one is bound to be injured, and whoever gets hurt, they would be the ultimate beneficiaries.
This would not change, so naturally, they had no reason to intervene.
As days passed, Lin Beichen did not accompany Luo Meixiang out today but had lunch with several dorm mates in the cafeteria.
At this moment, Lin Beichen suddenly noticed a familiar person.
Before he had time to greet them, Luo Meixiang had already breezed over like the wind.
"Lin Beichen, Sister Xu asked me to go to the Phoenix Club. She said I must bring you along. Shall we go now?"
Luo Meixiang said, a trace of puzzlement flashing in her eyes.
In her circle, anyone could ask for Lin Beichen, but for Sister Xu to ask for Lin Beichen, that was a bit strange.
In the vast south, among the younger generation, very few could enter Sister Xu’s eyes.
As a representative figure of the Xu Family, Xu Hongzhu was extremely powerful.
Not only the younger generation, many distinguished individuals of the older generation dreamed of having a meal with Xu Hongzhu and establishing connections.
But now, Xu Hongzhu didn’t care about anyone else but specifically sought out Lin Beichen, which made Luo Meixiang feel very strange.
Just what was special about their family’s Feng Shui Master that caught Xu Hongzhu’s interest?
"I’m free anytime."
Lin Beichen said calmly, getting up and walking out.
His dorm mates watched as Lin Beichen and Luo Meixiang left, chatting and laughing, stunned.
A breeze blew, and Liu Yunxi suddenly slapped his thigh, his face twisted with shock.
"Damn, when did the professor get such a beautiful girlfriend?"
"Who is she anyway? Her looks might not be top-notch, but her demeanor and physique are top-tier, and she must be from a wealthy family, no doubt."
Yu Mengjie said, twisting awkwardly. For some reason, whenever Luo Meixiang stood nearby, she felt a lack of confidence.
It sounds funny, but women have a natural radar, instantly recognizing if another belongs to a prestigious circle.
Yu Mengjie was sure this girl who just invited Lin Beichen must be from the highest tier.
"Don’t you know her? She is the campus belle of Huadu University, Luo Meixiang!"
Yuan Yanan said indifferently, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
In campus forums, people often compared her to Luo Meixiang, saying if it weren’t for family background, she might not lose to Luo Meixiang.
Yuan Yanan hadn’t seen Luo Meixiang before, or rather, never this close.
But now, she realized that the forum users had overestimated her.
Luo Meixiang becoming the campus belle of Huadu University, and being chased by countless nobles, was not without reason.
Her every gesture and expression, even the slightest movement, carried an ethereal quality, complemented by her clear eyes that seemed to see through everything and her commanding presence. Any woman would seem to pale in comparison to her.
"Luo Meixiang, hailing from a wealthy family, with assets reportedly worth over a hundred billion. She came to university with investment funds valued at five billion."
Yu Mengjie murmured, her voice growing smaller as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Su Manni’s face turned extremely pale.
Since the bar incident, she had seen Lin Beichen as a golden catch and pursued him relentlessly.
However, Lin Beichen’s indifferent responses didn’t deter her; instead, she felt that the challenge made her success more rewarding.
But now, she felt like a clown.
With a girlfriend like Luo Meixiang, who outclassed her in every aspect, how could she ever hope to win Lin Beichen’s heart?
Everyone watched Lin Beichen leave, filled with emotion, except for Chen Fangzhi, who frowned.
Luo Meixiang’s appearance reminded him of his nightmare.
The fiancée who was always better than him, always pushed him to improve, nearly driving him crazy.
Why did Luo Meixiang so resemble that woman? Could it be that she came from Luo Meixiang’s family?
What a coincidence...
